Inter Milan GM Marotta admits squad clearout needed

Inter Milan GM Beppe Marotta admits they face a busy market leading up to the September deadline.

Marotta concedes they need to clearout their fringe players.

He said, “We are with the Coach in wanting to build a competitive squad and we know the great difficulties he is having for his working methods. When I talk about focus on details, it also means being rigid in his squad structure.

“On the one hand, there is the need to create a team and bring in new faces, on the other the requirement to sell those who are surplus to requirements and no longer part of the project, taking nothing away from their professionalism.

“It's natural that a player who is ready to leave won't participate with too much intensity in pre-season training. It's difficult to create a definitive team structure in such a long transfer window.

“I want to reiterate that Conte's needs are our needs, to improve and reinforce the team."
